#135: Put Yourself First Pt 4: Exploring a Two-Month Purpose
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ready to challenge the norm and explore a new perspective on your life's purpose?
In this finale of my 'Put Yourself First' series, I talk about creating a two-month purpose.
Life is filled with transitions - moving from raising a family to the enigma of what comes next often leads us to think our next purpose must span years. But what if we considered a shorter goal, one that could offer a refreshing identity to experiment with?
In this episode, I guide you through the benefits of a smaller-scale approach, such as setting a two-month goal to run a 5K race and becoming a runner. This isn't just about running - it's about using this smaller goal to pivot from your current state, and maybe discover a new passion.
To help you along this journey, I offer a free training series filled with an extensive array of two-month challenges you could undertake.

Welcome back to Every Day A New Thought . I'm your host , thor Chalgren , and each weekday I share new thought perspectives . Today I'm going to wrap up the four-part series I've been doing this week , called Put Yourself First , and I'm going to do it with a challenge . It's this what are you doing the next two months ? In the free training series I have and you can find the link in the show notes I talk about the idea of a two-month purpose .
Speaker 1Many of us , when we leave one season in our lives like being a parent , raising a family we look at the rest of our lives and we think that our purpose has to be that big . Whatever I decide to do next is something that's going to be for the rest of my life . That makes sense on one level , because raising a family was like 20 years longer . We think in that timeframe . But what I want to say today and this is something that I cover in the free training series is that sometimes it's okay and it can actually help you to think in a smaller scale . I suggest two months . I suggest that you pick something that you can accomplish in two months' time and something that , at the end of which , will give you a possible new identity to try on . For example , maybe you decide to run a 5K race and you set the goal of running that race in two months . So when you do now you can say you are a runner , you might like running , and now you can say I want to do more of that . Maybe that then becomes a purpose for you . Or you might say yeah , okay , I did that . What else is next ? Then you can try on a different two-month purpose . So if you're in a place where you're pivoting from one thing to another , consider trying out a two-month purpose .
Speaker 1In the free video training series I mentioned , I give you a big list of possible things that you could consider trying on for two months . Or maybe you already know what you want to do . Anyway , you can find that series . The link is in the show notes below . You can also go to my website , wwwthorchallgrencom slash first and you can find the series there .
